A warrant has been issued for a Waukegan man accused of burglarizing vehicles in Gurnee after investigators received a tip from someone on social media identifying the man.

Michael B. Edwards, 39, of Waukegan, was charged with one count of felony burglary, court records show.

The Gurnee Police Department responded around 5:07 a.m. August 29 to a residence in the 4000 block of Kenwood Avenue for a burglary to motor vehicle report.

Police said that the victim’s vehicle was parked in the driveway overnight and the doors of the vehicle were unlocked. The glovebox and center console had been opened and items were thrown throughout the vehicle. Several items from the car had been taken.

He is not believed to be armed or dangerous but authorities are asking that anyone who sees him should not approach and instead call the police.
